why hasn't anyone drilled threw the bearing and the oil galley on the thrust bearing and beveled it so the crank pulls the oil out of the "pisser" to aid in crank walk? I've seen it done on chevys with thrust wear problems...

quick update: i found a evo-III 16g turbo with very little shaft play for 70 bucks!!! so i gotta modify my header a bit, re-clock the turbo so the j-pipe isn't such a PITA, finish porting(much thanks to the 16g porting tech article), figure out my coolent/oil setup and re-plan my D.P.im STOKED!!!

the block is a little taller, the crank sensor is on a different cylinder so you gotta rewire the injectors, plugs and rotate the sensors, you use the 2gnt head, you gotta rotate the pistons 180. do some searching, its all out there man. alain has a shit load of posts about the 2.4L swap.

ya i built the board myself, im using srt4 pistons, rods, rings, water pump, and timing shit.

its been a while but heres an update on my progress with the 420a dsm. im kinda planning my next 2 builds at the same time, first im gonna get the turbo sys. on the 2.0 block and get it all running than down the raod when i get this 2.4 block all built im gonna throw it in. im toying with the...

resonators help cancel out certain frequencies of sound in the exhaust, but they create turbulence in the exhaust flow as well. IMO resonators and cat's are garbage...

i agree it goes to the second turbo in your trunk.ROFL sorry i couldnt help it!

sounds like the input shaft baring to me. if it stops as soon as you start to disengage the clutch and everything else seems to function properly thats what it usually is.

im hella broke right now and need to do some logging. i got a laptop and i was woundering if this ebay auction will work, i did some researching but couldent figure it out.eBay Motors: ELM320 OBD2 EOBD ISO Interface Code Reader elm~320 (item 370072372286 end time Feb-21-09 11:00:52 PST)

i bought a parts car to swap the 5-speed into mine. and i want to put my auto in the parts car and sell it because i can fix it. i dont want to put all my stuff on the parts car because it will be way more work. any information on this will be great!

how the hell did my old ass thread get hijacked all the sudden??

Its not a writeup, I just wanted to see if anyone had anything to say about how I did it.

i couldn't find much about this so i figured it out and decided to post it and see what you guys think about how i did my FCD. first i unscrewed it and let it hang and checked the voltage at the signal wire with the key on run(because that would be equal to no vacuum/boost in the manifold). it...

ive decided to go with the fcd, its on the way now! than ill have all the pieces and i can start bolting 'em on...

what is the differences between say the civic ML and the eclipse ML?? will they all work on an eclipse? a link to how a ml works would be cool if there is one out there...

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! all that reading for this ending!! that hella sucks manOMG hope you get enough money to do it again.

will this cord work with our cars? if so what software should i get? im having trouble finding articles on logging and tunning. i really would like to make my own cable to plug into my laptop any links for that would be great!!eBay Motors: OBD2 16Pin to DB9 Serial Port RS232 Adapter Cable...

man, that dude shouldnt have even posted... anyway, any info on the above??

right on!duh:tease:WTF

how can you tell the difference between the walbro 255 and 255 hp? i found one on cl but cant tell wich one it is. it came out of some evo if that helps at all.

nice... thanks guys. i was starting to think i was gonna have to rebuild it!:thumb:

long story short i bought a turbonetics kit around 1 year ago and noticed a ground spot on the end of the shaft on the o2 side of the turbo. so i contacted them and they gave me the "that's supposed to be there" run around(they would warranty it if i had problems ect...) so i let it got for...

how is 10:1 to lean if according to my research the SFMU has a maximum ratio of 7:1? i have read success stories of people who have used the SFMU for years with stock 420a injectors and had no problems

daaam, that hella sux. if i catch some druggie stealling my sh... any ways put an alarm in most low life thiefs are after an easy target and are afraid of flashing lights. the ones good enough to get past an alarm system could care less about a DSM or anything inside it...

cool thats what i needed to know.:thumb:thanks!

actually i just got a civic header that im gonna modify to work, ill let you guys know how it turns out and do a write up on it if it works out good enough...:dsm:

let me tell you guys a little more about my plans...16g turbo,(i have a 50 trim im gonna sell or trade for it) full 3" exhaust:cool: god speed FMIC walbro 255 LPH HP pump 1:1 AFPR w/AN fittings(or SFMU) turbonetics bov and wastegate OBX boost gauge modified civic header missing link home made...

ya that's my guess to. it is on portland cl. im trying to decide if i should get it for my turbo conversion kit...

i have been looking around but cant figure it out. what brand AFPR is this???

well i was aiming at 250-300 crank-HP. dont know what it would end up being at the wheels.

i have quite a few lights missing out of my gauge bezel. i need to know or see a pic to see if some light slots are just not used or what. i have a 97' eclipse rs. thanks!

im gonna represent for my sister cause im proud of the deal i made!:D 95' gs black $1000 he thought motor was blown, but the spark plug wasn't screwed in at all making that nasty noise. so i bought her for my sis and fixed it before i left the parking lot!!:rocks: HAHA SUCKER!!!

97' RS $800 with blown motor. im in it about 3500 now, and im not even done putting together my turbo kit yet.:thumb::dsm:

right, i got ML on the way, should i just get an AMFPR cause im building a short block?(crank rods pistons)it wont be done for like a year tho because of economy and expenses involved. anything else i should do internally?

right, i think in gonna do it. i can get a sick looking 4g header for 75obo!

im gonna turbo my 420a. my goals are 250-275 c-hp @ 8psi boost (untill i rebuild again) here is my parts list let me know if i left anything out. and any sugestions and/or pointers on components that i can reuse after my rebuild for around 20 psi of boost?Garrett T3 turbo FMIC Exhaust Manifold...

trouble and hassle arn't a problem, as long as it will outflow a log manifold

would it be feasabile to try and modify a tubular 4g63 header to fit a 420a turbo setup? i have welders and a mill at my disposal. a diagram to compare the 2 flanges and dsm wismen input would be apreciated! thanks

im putting in an eclipse navigation unit...:cool:

hey, i cant for the life of me figure out where to tap into the speed pulse wire on my 97 eclipse rs. please help!!!

i got it. i thought i checked everything out but i guess i overlooked a plug that wasn't fully connected. but thanks man good advice :thumb:

i just droped in my rebuilt 420a and it goes right into limpmode when i drive it. what should i do?

oh. thanks man:thumb:

i seen that, its for a 4g63 i need to do it to a 420a...

i pulled a couple all nighters on the build. and i got the engine installed with another one.:dsm:

i think i forgot to prime the oil pump on my 420a. how is the best way to push oil threw it and crank for a sec with no fuel or spark to build pressure?(i already let it run for about 1 min to see if i get pressure)

i got her done!:rocks: and it fired right up

nice thanks... one more thing does the oil run threw the filter before the pump?
